With Oktoberfest about to start up next week I decided to try my hand at making Soft Pretzels.
Here are most of the Ingredients:
1 cup Milk (warmed to approx. 105 degrees)
2 tbsp. Sugar
2 tsp. Active Dry Yeast
2 tbsp. Butter Softened
2 1/2 Cups AP Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
+
1 cup Water
1 1/2 tbsp. Baking Soda
Pretzel Salt (To Taste)
2 tbsp. Melted Butter
YouTube Recipe can be found here: (Link: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYewgtCpmsI"]Homemade Soft Pretzels!! How to Make Pretzels Recipe - YouTube[/ame])
Here are the dough ingredients mixed and proofing.
Here it is after proofing for 90 minutes. (Easily doubled in size)
Now on my pastry mat pressed down and kneaded for a minute.
Formed into a ball
and divided into sixth’s.
First piece rolled into a rope approximately 22” long.
Formed into a U shaped.
Twist once
and then again
and finally take the 2 end and bring them up to meet the top of the pretzel and lightly pinched.
I put the 6 completed pretzels on a tray with parchment paper and took them out to my gas side burner with the water and baking soda solution which I had boiled.
I dipped each pretzel in the solution for 10 to 15 seconds per side and then put them on a greased sheet and then placed them on my pizza stone. If I had placed them closer I could’ve gotten all 6 on at once but I wanted some space between them so I only got 5 to start. After they had cooked for 7 minutes I then moved them around a little to make space for the 6th pretzel.
And here it is plated with some Horseradish Mustard.
